Q

What is a situation where excessive amounts of NS may be given because LR is not an option?

Q

Why cant you use LR with blood products?

A

Ca++ binds to citrate and causes emboli

Starting platelet count

40
Q

What occurs when replacing 1-1.5 blood volumes lost with PRBCs and fluids?

Recommendations to prevent?

A

Loss of clotting factors

  • Consider FFP after 1 BV

  • Check coags after ever BV loss
41

Is TXA an early or late choice for bleeding in children?

A

Early

43
Q

How to treat?

A

DIC

Treat the cause (shock, acidosis, sepsis)

44
Q

What increases risk of hyperkalemia with PRBCs admin?

A
  • Increased PRBC shelf time
  • Irradiation

A

True

46
